Refresh Your Eyes
At home secrets to restful looking eyes
By: Paige Montgomery
here is nothing worse than feeling tired and stressed and then realizing that you also look tired and stressed! One stressful day can immediately manifest itself into two oversized bags drooping under your eyes, and sadly, makeup doesn’t even seem to cover it up! To fix your perturbed peepers, check out these five easy ways to liven up your lids!
The first and easiest at home remedy that is the most effective is SLEEP! Try getting a good eight hours or more if you’ve been pulling too many all nighters in the last week. Beauty rest is essential to a happy, healthy looking face, and your body will love you for it!
Another simple way to brighten your eyes is to drink water. When you have big bags under your eyes, it shows that you aren’t taking proper care of yourself, so after you’ve taken a nice long nap, try fitting eight glasses of water a day into your diet. Staying hydrated illuminates your skin and rinses out all the nasty toxins in your body.
If water and sleep aren’t doing your eyes justice, it’s time to bust out the big guns! Buy some fresh mint leaves and grind them into a paste. Put one to two drops of lime juice in the mix and apply under your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes a day. The mixture of mint and lime rejuvenate your skin and leave you with a gentle tingle under your eyes. Continue applying for two to three weeks, and you are sure to see the circles disappear.

If you want to mix up your eye care remedies, try rose water. Rose water has been a traditional under eye home remedy and is notorious for putting an end to women’s dark circles. Apply rose water to a cotton ball and gently massage under the eye for five to six minutes. Repeat once a day for 2 to 3 weeks. The method is simple and incredibly effective.

Lastly, for a simply sweet at-home remedy, try a mixture of almond oil and honey. Apply a small dose to the affected area every night before you go to bed for 2 to 3 weeks and you are sure to see an improvement in no time!
